Silent Hill: Townfall is a full-length, self-contained psychological horror set against the cold, isolated backdrop of Scotland, 1996. Players can explore St. Amelia, where fog-soaked streets, abandoned communities, and forgotten corners tell their story through atmosphere and history. Reality and delusion subtly intertwine to lure players into the depths of St. Amelia's grounded, tangible world.

Digital SpyJoe DraperSep 20265/5 starsThe best parts of Alien Isolation and Resident Evil's first-person entries have merged with Silent Hill's rusty and foggy DNA to create an original nightmarish take on the series. Silent Hill: Townfall is a breath of fresh air for the genre and a must-play for horror fans.

Tom's GuideRory MellonSep 20264.5/5 starsSilent Hill: Townfall is the best the survival horror series has been in 25 years. Developer Screen Burn takes the series into first-person with a new remote Scottish town setting, breathing fresh energy into the franchise. But while some things change, Silent Hill's phenomenal atmosphere, visuals, and sound design remain. It's a horrific, often unsettling experience, but it's one that I never wanted to stop playing. $49.94 at Amazon $49.99 at Target Check Best Buy

The Outerhaven ProductionsAndrew AgressSep 20263/5 starsSilent Hill: Townfall delivers an intriguing and ultimately moving story that dovetails with thematically relevant puzzles. It’s just a shame its combat gets swallowed up in a fog of subpar stealth mechanics.

WccftechNathan BirchSep 20266.5/10Silent Hill: Townfall will get your heart-pumping at times and delivers plenty of the atmosphere this series is famous for, but that familiarity is also to the game's detriment as its narrative and world don’t offer many surprises. Meanwhile, clunky stealth and occasional design missteps result in a game that's often more frustrating than frightening. Silent Hill: Townfall has its moments, but those expecting the game to live up to this series' recent high standards may want to look for real estate elsewhere.
